Archaeologists at Hogwarts

The plates were filled with food, and Harry was stunned. He had never seen so many of his favorite foods appear at the same time, and there was no Dudley nearby who would snatch the food away.

Ron held the chicken legs with both hands. He took a bite from the left side and then another from the right side, leaving his mouth bulging.

"Eat quickly, Harry." Ron said vaguely.

Harry got some of everything except the peppermint candies, and they were all delicious.

"It looks really good." Nearly headless Nick looked at them with a sad face.

They chatted for a while, and Ron successfully called out his nickname. Then Nick showed his severed head to Seamus Finnigan's question. There was only a little bit of skin attached to the neck, and it was not completely chopped off.

Nick happily looked at the stunned expressions of the new students, and he said: "Okay, new Gryffindor classmates! I hope you can help us win the Academy Cup this school year, okay? Gryffindor has never been

I haven’t won a prize in such a long time. Slytherin won six consecutive championships! Bloody Barrow is really unbearable - he is the ghost of Slytherin.”

"I hope you can cheer up."

He added additionally: "Did you see the new professor? Toby Highmore, he is also from Slytherin House. If you want to win the Academy Cup, you must work harder!"

"Toby Highmore?"

Harry looked towards the teacher's table and saw that the long-haired man was fighting for a piece of ribs with Sniff, neither of them willing to stop first.

"He is actually from Slytherin?" Harry asked doubtfully, "But Hagrid told me clearly that Professor Highmore is a good person, but he seems a bit silent at ordinary times."

Before he could leave, Nick blinked mysteriously: "Did you receive unusually indifferent treatment?"

"How do you know?" Harry asked in surprise.

"That's not all I know." Nick couldn't help but show off: "As the ghosts of the school, we can always see things that most people can't discover - but we can't say bad things about professors behind their backs.

So, I hope you won’t be targeted by him, he is not as easy to talk to as he seems.”

After Nick walked away, Harry silently put down his knife and fork.

"What's wrong?" Ron asked as he picked up another chicken drumstick: "No appetite? I have to tell you, there is no midnight snack at night."

"No." Harry shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "Nick said we should be careful not to be targeted by Professor Heimer, but I feel like I have been targeted."

"What did you say?" Ron opened his mouth in surprise.

"It's true." Harry recalled carefully: "When Hagrid took me to the Leaky Cauldron, I met Professor Highmore. He was staring at me, but he was not as surprised as the others.

He didn't come over to shake my hand. Then at Gringotts, we met again in the underground treasure house."

"It sounds like nothing." Ron said nonchalantly: "That just means that Professor Hemmer is a little shy, and he still has his own vault in Gringotts... By the way, what kind of vault is it?"

"The deepest kind." Harry said with certainty. The vault was even more advanced than the one left by his parents.

"He is really rich." Ron said enviously: "When will I also have such a treasury?"

Percy came over at some point: "As long as you study hard and don't be like George and Fred, you can do it. Bill is very rich now. He is working as a curse breaker, which requires a lot of money from you."

N.E.W.T. certificate for each course.”

"Continue." Ron held up the chicken leg and said, "No matter how hard you try, I won't be able to eat at all."

Harry didn't listen to what they were talking about. He had a worry in his heart - only he knew that the Sorting Hat almost sorted him into Slytherin. But before that, he was assigned to Slytherin House.

’s Toby Highmore is eyeing.

Harry suddenly remembered that Highmore was staring at him before Tom recognized him. Could it be that he came specifically for him? Just like the Sorting Hat, he also knew that he would be sorted into Slytherin?

"Harry, Harry." Percy patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

"No...it's nothing." Harry quickly covered it up.

"Stop pretending." Percy said confidently. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Harry: "Are you frightened by Nick's words? Don't listen to his nonsense. Take a look at this. It may have some effect on you.

help."

Percy secretly handed over a copy of "Wizard Weekly" from under the table. He seemed to have this magazine with him at all times.

"What is this?" Harry asked.

Percy skillfully turned the magazine to the pre-folded corner and handed it to Harry to read: "It is an academic article once published by Professor Heimer. He has not many articles. It took me a lot of time to find this book.

Such great strength will definitely change your impression of Professor Heimer. He is a very amazing wizard, even groundbreaking."

Ron on the other side asked curiously: "Where did you get the money to buy books? Is this a prefect reward from your mother?"

"Shut up!" Percy said, "I found this on Bill's bookshelf. You should really get to know your outstanding brothers and at least become a prefect in the future."

Ron silently put the chicken legs down: "You really succeeded in doing it. Mom will definitely be proud of you. I'm full just listening to your lessons."

Harry was looking at this article carefully. He noticed that he was not born when the article was published, and it was published in 1978.

[On the combination of wands and ritual magic]

[Ritual magic can also be called wandless magic. It usually requires the use of some special rituals to perform. The ancient way was sacrifice, and it is still available now, but the objects of sacrifice are changed from living people to animals. Fortunately, the author encountered

[The best effect among ritual magic is living sacrifice. The author has personally visited many wizard tribes in Africa, and some of them still retain the ancient habit of living sacrifice. If you are eating, it is best not to read the following words——

Harry didn't listen, and he soon regretted it.

[When the ritual magic started, a thick layer of smoke first enveloped the sacrifice, and then a series of sounds came from the smoke, like the sound of wild beasts biting, and domestic animals began to howl in pain - the author did not

I saw what happened in the smoke with my own eyes, but I didn't want to see it from the bottom of my heart. The author only saw the result after the smoke dispersed - the body of the livestock was completely opened, yes, it was the kind of opening you imagined, and the meat was in
